Do you or a family member have a wikipedia page?

[Buck]

I randomly looked up my grandpas name on Wikipedia, and he actually has a pretty decent page.

So I thought it would be cool to share yours or a family members here.

Anyways, heres my grandpas.

Wow, a Major General with a MoH earned at Okinawa, VERY VERY impressive. :clap: :clap: :clap:

[HolmeZz]

He looks like DeNiro.

[Buck]

He looks like DeNiro.

You mean DeNiro looks like him?

[Phobia]

I'm familiar with him, having served in Okinawa, Quantico, and MCRD San Diego. I did not know he'd been awarded the MoH though. Very cool.

After reading further, a MoH earned at Okinawa as a CORPORAL, even more impressive.

To answer your answer question, no.

As to your your grandfather, very nice. Were you able to get to know him well before he passed away?

[RealSNR]

Close. John Glossinger needs a biography, but is cited as a link in this article. He's my great-uncle.

My family should get on that.

Yeah, I was 12 when he passed away.

I loved that man.

Good, that's nice for both of you. And nice that he lived long enough for you to know what sort of man he was. You'll be very proud someday to show that page to your own children, I'm sure.

Anyways, heres my grandpas.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_L._Day

Damn. Did anyone else take the time to read the MoH Citation? Your grandpa was an all around bad ass on Okinawa: more than 100 enemy dead around his position.

He got his MOH in 1998, because the officer who was recommending him was KIA. Anyways, that officers son found the papers nearly 50 years later. So the whole family got to go to the White House and witness him recieve the MOH from Clinton.

This ceremony took place in the East Room of the White House.

It's pretty awesome that they made it right but the dude probably would have advanced that much further with a MOH on his chest - maybe even Commandant. Plus MOH recipients are tax free for life. I wonder if they gave a bunch of money back to him.

Well I'm all about bragging on my grandfather, so...

He was forced to retire in 1986 because he declined the offer to become the next Commandant. Also, regarding the money, his pension was so large that that really didn't matter. He started his own company and bought a bunch of work vehicles with cash.

I dont know exactly, but I'm pretty sure his pension was about $100,000-$150,000 a year.

[HolmeZz]

And God knows there are going to be a ton of them.

A ton of them too many.

[Phobia]

He'd have probably been Commandant when I was in then. Instead we had General Gray. Then Krulak finished out. That dude was about 5'5". He was my CG during GWI. Then they put 3 more stars on his collar in about 18 months.

Yeah thats what it was going to be with him.

He was a Maj.Gen. and he was offered to be the next Commandant whenever it opened, but he decided that he wanted to live on the west coast with his family, and then suddenly the Marine Corps had no more use for him.

Anyways, it was so cool riding with him in his car through MCRD in San Diego and no matter who we passed, they always saluted.

In 1986 the base pay for an O-10 was $6,040 per month. If your grandfather was retired with 40 years of service he would have got 100% of his base pay. Are you sure of the pension figure? Are you including his civilian pension with the military? My Current base pay is $4977 as a senior enlisted and the O-10 rate is maxed out at $14,508.60, that is the base pay for an O-10 on the 2007 Pay Schedule.

Just questioning the figure as it is by far higher than he could have drawn if he retired in 1986.

[Fairplay]

Here's one about me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Dalton

OUCH! :#
:PPL:

On October 2, 2007, Fairplay was in an altercation with celebrity Danny Bonaduce during the Fox Reality Really Awards. Fairplay was on stage after the end of the Awards show and being loudly booed by the audience. Bonaduce walked on stage and told Fairplay the audience reaction was "'cause they hate you," and then started to walk back off stage. Fairplay then yelled "Whoa, whoa, Danny, Danny," causing Bonaduce to turn back around and face Fairplay. Fairplay ran and leaped onto Bonaduce's chest and stomach, holding onto Bonaduce around his neck, and started "monkey-humping" Bonaduce's chest. Fairplay stated that this action is part of his act, but Bonaduce said that he felt it was an assault and was especially uncomfortable with Fairplay's hands near his throat. Bonaduce lifted Fairplay by his legs, heaving Fairplay headfirst up and over Bonaduce's head.

Fairplay hit the stage face first behind Bonaduce, unable to break the fall with his hands since he held on to the microphone. He lay on the floor a few seconds before standing up and staggering off stage holding his face. He has since claimed that the fall knocked out a tooth (which shattered into eight pieces), moved three more within his mouth, damaged the supporting bone, and broke a toe.

Cool. Did you get to know him? And any stories to share?

[a1na2]

I guess I'm trippin.

No problem with holding a family member in the highest esteem for what they have done. His military pension might not have been what you thought, but I'd presume that anyone that could achieve that rank in the Marines would be an astute businessman in his own right.

I would guess that his pension (all sources considered) just might be at the level you thought.

I did not mean to lower your level of respect for him, I don't think that could be done anyway. People that have devoted that many years to their country have my undying gratitude.
